Got Linux on my laptop, literally just waiting a year to put it on my desktop (Linux does NOT like brand new hardware)

My hardware's new enough that my WiFi card doesn't work on Windows 10 (and won't, only Win11), but it works on recent-ish Linux kernels. Not contradicting you, but it was interesting to see.

Yeah, unless they're trying to use a laptop with some weird piece of hardware it should work.

Even the newest generation of graphics cards worked fine within a week or two.

That might be true for distros like mint, but fedora is usually fine with brand new hardware.
